About PyLadies Vancouver

PyLadies is an international mentorship group focused on helping more women become active participants and leaders in the Python open source community. Our mission is to promote, educate, and advance a diverse Python community through outreach, education, conferences, events, and social gatherings.

PyLadies Vancouver is the local chapter, run by volunteers from across the Greater Vancouver area. We've been organizing meetups here for over ten years, bringing together people who write Python professionally, are learning it, or are simply curious about it.

Our meetups are free, in person, and open to everyone. A typical evening features one or two talks, time to ask questions, and plenty of space to meet other people in the local Python community.

We welcome all women, inclusive of trans women. We extend a special invitation to nonbinary folks, as many (but not all) of the oppressions facing women in our industry are also experienced by nonbinary individuals. People of any gender identity are welcome to attend, but should respect that PyLadies Vancouver is a place where women's voices are centered.
